Can you describe the intense devotion and love that characterized the relationship between Baba and his Guru?

The bond between Baba and his Guru was one of profound love and devotion. Baba describes his Guru in Chapter 19 as a "veritable idol of devotion and love" whose heart was full of immense affection for his disciple. Baba's own devotion was so complete that he would gaze at his Guru's face day and night, feeling neither hunger nor thirst. He states that without his Guru, his mind was restless, and that his Guru was his only constant contemplation. This mutual joy and focus was all the Guru expected, and he never neglected Baba.
